In an era filled with overly serious and hyper-competitive first-person shooters, a return of TimeSplitters would be a welcome change of pace, gaming columnist Jake Magee writes.
These five game series by various studios which has gone dormant over the years, and that's a shame because they had so much potential.
Resistance is a great one. I’m also sad there are no more Killzone, Dishonoured and Deus Ex games coming.
diddy kong racing
im sick and tired of having Just mario kart being the only true amd best kart racer ha
Based on the open network test, Sonic Racing Crossworlds is is a lot of fun. So we have a second option now.
Embark on a legendary dark fantasy adventure, mix tech and monsters for thrilling hunts, build a community of woodland worshippers, compete in two-wheeled races and more with August’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Wild Hearts, Cult of the Lamb, Ride 5 and more titles are playable from August 20 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members*.
We’re also announcing new classics – including the legendary TimeSplitters series – and PS VR2 game offerings coming to PlayStation Plus Premium
Replies(1)This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.
Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.
Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games
Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.
At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.
This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies
Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.
14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.
They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..
How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on
PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.
And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.
Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.
Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.
For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.
Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.
I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.
I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did
Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
Unveiled footage of the cancelled TimeSplitters game emerges after Free Radical's closure, igniting fans' nostalgia and hopes for a revival.
From looking at the gameplay, it just looks like Fortnite, this would have been very poorly received by timesplitters fans.
Another legendary series that ends brutally.. glad this never came out, it’s an insult to the original one
I'm glad this got cancelled, what's with the Fornite knockoff? TimeSplitters was an FPS, not a 3rd person battle royale.
What were they thinking?
I got into a minor disagreement with their staff shortly after the closure, after i commented about a Timesplitters HD remaster to gauge public reception before such a big project here:
https://www.linkedin.com/fe...
Looking at the gameplay footage, it's clear that the staff (no matter what level) we're out of their depth, putting lots of hours into a game that would of been DOA if Embracer didn't shut it down.
They removed the footage. Here it is if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/BesmfPD8fj...
It's basically a Fortnite clone. Seems like a good decision to cancel this game.
AW SHIT, IT'S TIME TO SPLIT!!!
I love TimeSplitters even to this day. Those games had a perfect blend of bizarre, cheeky, absurdist humor, and had shit-loads of content as well. The third game literally had 150 playable characters in the multiplayer. I remember how you could create your own maps and then upload them online for others to test out/enjoy. TS2 was also amazing. It had LAN support so you could have up to 16 players in a multiplayer frag-fest if you wanted. In fact, with VPN-style tunneling you can technically still play that game online if you've got friends to play it with!
If you guys are interested, check out a fan project called TimeSplitters Rewind. It's being developed for PC and the devs plan to do a console release at some point when the game is finished. It's pretty much a multiplayer-focused composite of TS2 & 3 with modern-day visuals. It's gonna be sick. http://www.tsrewind.com/ind...
It is coming back. It's called Timesplitters rewind coming to PC and PS4.
Love this series, still play them regularly as they have bots and the single player and co-op which are fun.
Would love to see the Timesplitters rewind actuallt happening.
Or rerelease all 3 on PS4 PS2 classics with HD upscaling.
Would love to see a new one. Unfortunately I feel like the bizarre and cheeky humor has left the gaming industry.
